Slomiansky suspends self from Knesset committee
Jewish Home MK Nissan Slomiansky, suspected of sexual offenses, has suspended himself from the chairmanship of the Knesset Law, Justice and Constitution Committee.
The move comes after Slomiansky’s name was revealed Thursday as the MK from the party suspected of a series of offenses. Police have reportedly opened an investigation into the accusations.
A number of lawmakers, including some from his own party, have called on the MK, 70, to step down from the Knesset altogether until an investigation is completed.
